This week's Podcast features interviews with top-ranked online tournament players Jim "P0kerPr033" Campbell and Joe "Hoodini10" Udine.
Jim Campbell holds a degree in Finance from the University of Mass at Dartmouth. On Christmas vacation during his Junior year in college (2005), "P0kerPr033" came home to find his father playing online poker. With nothing more than basic hand rankings and a three-figure bankroll, Jim began playing in his free time and spun his wheels for a while. Then in March of 2006, he had a $40,000 night with final tables in FullTilt and UltimateBet majors. The rest is history.
Joe Udine is the nephew of poker great "JoeyTheB", who recently won over $250,000 at a major live event. Joe's breakout came just before last year's World Series of Poker. Upon his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, he decided he would "take a shot" with $7,000 as he travelled to Europe and then Las Vegas. He immediately took down a $1,000 buy-in tournament at The Bellagio, for $70,000. Then in August, he captured 1st Place in the FTOPS Event #1 for $86,000. "Hoodini10" has a few sharp comments for successful cash game and tournament player "ActionJeff" Garza that our listeners won't want to miss.
